The Governor nominated for Trustees for the Columbus Hospital for the Insane, A. D. Kouers, u. w. Manypenny, ueorge Mitchell, James Buckingham and Joseph R. Se or. Home Bills oased : House bill to coany the ditch laws, so far as they relate to county commissioners; House bill to punish persons (or disturbing religious meetings; House bill authorizing and directing the Audiior of Franklin county to pay witness fees in civil and criminal cases which hate accrued under a refusal of said officer to certity tees in criminal cases; Houb bill making the abduction of girls from the Industrial Home a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary. A numberot local bills were pssed Bills introduced ; Toprohibit gambling and liquor selling within two miles of Chippewa Lake, Medina county; to authorize cesBion of the Western Reserve and Miami road to the counties through which it passes. Westerly winds, ttationary or riting bar ometer, and parity cloudy and clearing weather and slight changes in temperature. Vote and work for the best men to-day, Such men as Blount, Koyce and Hin- man ought to pull through by handsome majorities to-day. It will be eafe to vote uniformily on the opposite side to that which bummer- dom is in favor of to-day. The voters of the Second ward will send in their cards to-day, with General Mitchell's name on them. The Ninth and Tenth are the only wards in which there iB any contest for membership in the Board of Education. Dr. J. R. Flowers, after several yearB service in Council from the Third ward, has been placed in a position to "walk over the course" again to-day. Mb. R. C. Hell's service in the City Council has been endorsed by a renomi nation. If he doeBn't take the "hull" vote of the First Ward, he will at least make things lively. No citizen who feels the slightest interest in having the city honestly and eco nomically governed should fail to go to the polls to-day. Of course the oppo- aite class will do what it can to put weak and corruptible men into the Council. Let all good citizenB do their part to keep them out. Mr. Appleton J. Ide, the Republican n f ,1... Qnnan,l. nominee lor counciimau m mio... ward, ia an active, energetic young man whose triumphant election would be a credit to his constituency, as well aa to himself. If cleoted, as we have no doubt he will be, he will infuse some young blood into the arteries of the municipal legislature that will tend to give it good health. The voters of the Seventh ward should Bee that the transfusion is accom plished. Mr. Robert H. Thompsom will "shy his castor" into the Fourth ward ring to-day, backed by the Republican nomination for Council. livery Doay knows "Rocky." and he knowa every body who has lived in Columbus since the time it waa a goose pasture. Ha can give the late Governor points in the "oldest inhab- itant" line. He was not put on the track "for fun," but with an abiding intention of electing him, and he will make a "rocky" road for any candidate opposing him. If elected he will materially improve the ssljfrreof thy Fourth wardrepresentation. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL WASHINGTON. THE EEAL ESTATE FOOL. Washington, April 2. The statement that the committee on Real Estate Pool examined no witnessea on Saturday, be' cauBe all deBired to be excused, was an error. .Hon. Charles A.

Pertinent Points from the Eastern Papers of Yesterday. Connecticut KlectionN Knlhuainetle MeetlunrFroHpeels For To-Day. Special to the New York Times Hartford, April 1. There was a very large and enthusiastic Republican meeting here to-night, addresped by General Joseph R. Hawley, Gen. Francis A. Walker, and Hon. Henry C. Robinson. The first made a splendid speech, devoted chiefly to the financial question, taking the highest possible ground iu favor of resumption as the only salvation of the national honor nnd credit. General Walker spoke to the same enect, and, aB illustrating the value of the Resumption act as a sign of promise, said: "Fellow- citizens, 1 have Been a hunarea men lay down their lives around a ragged piece of bunting which, new and whole on the store counter in New York, was not worth $5, but which, planted on Antietam Creek or at the foot of Maury's HeighU, flaunting defiance to rebellion, was worth thousands of prcciouB human livee." The audience was electrified by this burst, aa I never Baw an audience before.The prospect for Monday is that in case can the Republican State ticket be elected, but that possibly the election may go to the Legislature. The chances are, however, that Ingersoll will be elected by the people, but by a majority greatly reduced from last year. The Legislature will be very close, with the chances in favor of the Democrats. There is much severe comment on the policy of the State committee to night, as it ia now the general opinion that with an active speaking canvass the State could have been easily carried by the Republicans. The reason for the adoption of the policy has not yet transpired, but anxious inquiries are Be ing made in the matter. An Outgpoken Convert at the Bloo dy and Saukey Revival. New York Herald.) There waa no meeting at the Hippo drome, yesterday, but a prayer meeting was held, accoruing to announcement, ai Association nail, corner ol 1 wentytuira street nnd Fourth avenue. There were about 500 present, many of them young converts. Dr. Kennard presided, and Mr. Pecham, Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, led the singing. The meeting opened with the singing of the hymn, "Ring the Bells of Heaven," and then Rev. Dr. Kennard addressed the audience on the subject of "Grace." He said that by the grace of God we are paved and by nothing else. No man is saved by his own effort. The spirit of God must come down on him, and imbue him; and the way to have that spirit is by prayer. We hope that the Spirit will remain with Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey, and thattenBOf thousands of the people of New York will be converted. Rev. Dr. Kenard called on any one in the meeting to Btand up and pray, and several persons stood up and told how they had been saved by listening to the preaching of Mr. Moody. One man from Newburg said that 600 members had joined one church in that city recently, and the other cnurcnes were receiving numerous applications for membership also. Among those who joined the church there wns one particular case he remembered. It was of quite a young man who had been led to Christ. His father kept a Baloon and he took care of it. But he gave up the saloon and everything else to enlist himselt in tbe army ol the .Lord. Another of those who rose to pray was Jerry McAuley, oi tbe Water BtreetMisBion Brother Jerry thought that the ministers up town were not clean of heart, for if they were they could do more work with their congregations. Men will not be con verted except by those who are clean of heart and clean of mouth. Let those min isters up town throw the tobacco out of their mouths and go to work like the dia-ciples of JesUB, and they will have suc cess. Why," said Brother Jerry, we have twentyfiveof A. T. Stewart's crowd oonverted in our mission already, and next week we are going for the old man." Several other prayers and experiences were recited, and the meeting closed with the aingingol the eighteenth hymn, "lies-cue the Perishing." Bell Aananlied by a Southerner. Special to New Tork World. Washington, April 1. Threats were heard on the streets and in the hotels yesterday againBt Bell, who testified against tsaococK, and today, when Liyer corrobo rated Bell'a Btory, the threats were re peated. This evening Bell was Bitting on a Bola in the Lbbitt House reading newspaper, when one Moleure, of JNew Orleans, who came here at the opening of Congress, stepped up to him and asked him if his name was Bell. The detective looked up and replied, "Yes, but he did not know him." The word waa scarcely uttered when Moleure i ifted a heavy cane and struck at his head. Bell raised his arm in time to ward off the blow, but the force bruised his wriBt. Two other blows were dealt acroBS the detective's face, drawing blood, when the bystanders interfered and put the man out of the building. Bell waa unarmed and in no condition to withstand the blows of a cluh. His assailant threatened to kill bim later in the evening, and several policemen stood around the doors of Willard's readr to arrest the assailant in case of another attack. Meanwhile Bell armed himself. He then swore out a warrant and had Moleure arrested and sent to jail.

About balfpaat nine o'clock Saturday evening, as John Bentz, the artist, was passing along Broad Btreet, and when at the alley by the old Buckeye House, aome person on the outaide of the sidewalk attracted hia attention, when s confederate, who was concealed by the side of the hoUBe bounded ont and seized Bentz by the throat. The highwayman oommenced pommeling Bentz, but tlia young man, by making divera and Bundry industrious efforts to free himself, broke loose from the robber and escaped. The villisns followed him a short distance, and then fled. He, of course, did not know either of the men, end gave no alarm. This is the Becond affair of the kind that haa occurred on that street within a week, and needs looking after. Herlone Accident. Sometime yesterday Patrick Melvin, who lives in the North End, went home and some bow or other fell over a chair.a leg of which had been broken off. In his fall his head cams in contact with the jagged end of the broken chair leg, a portion of which penetrated one of his eyes, putting it out and badly injuring the side of the bead. Dr. Reed rendered what medical aid was necessary, and in tbe afternoon Melvin was able to be out on the Btreet somewhat the worse for tbe fall. LOCAL POLITICS.

Beer wa a little freer thnn at other times, but with this exception there waa nothing particular to note. In the Fourth Ward, Rocky Thompson was sailing in pretty lively in the race with Peter Baker lor Council. The probabilities are that a lively contest will take place in the Seventh be tween Ide and Moerch. In the Eighth Ward, the contest is live ly and interesting. Marshall is work ing like a beaver, while Uraham is not idle by any means. A meeting was held at the Board of Trade Room Saturday, and Dr. Coulter put in nomination by those who were dissatisfied with the result of the primary. With three candidates in the field, a heated contest iB expected to-day. In the First ward Hull and Lilly are contesting the ground, but there is scarce ly anything more than ordinary interest taken. The Ninth ward is lively with the friends of Hinman and Walsh putting in their best licks. Much interest is manifested and the election in the Ninth will perhaps be one(of the most interesting contests in the city to-da. April Fool. Since all the fools are not dead, and the fool-killer neglects his calling, it is but proper that interested parties Bhouldhave one day in the year all to themselves. The day is said, to have originated among the Hindoos, who even up to the present time are said to observe a similar custom. This ia only one of the many specimens that might be adduced of a festival of modern times, tracing its rise far back among the dim recesseH of history. Such days as this which keep in remembrance an old holiday, the original and true significance of which is almost undiscoverable deserve to be cherished, perhaps, because they lend a sort of pic-turesquenesB to the year. The twelvemonth would be indescribably dull and leadened colored if all days were precisely alike, and none were distinguished by peculiar notions, BUperBtitions and ceremonies. But taking our holidays and the 1st of April deserves in some senae to be called one aa a whole they make a goodly array. The time, however, has indeed come when All Fool's Day has ceaseil to stand out with any degree of prnminenco. It has already begun to take its place among phantom holidays, and in a hundred years more will cease to have the slightest distinction whatever. As it is we are almoBt wholly indebted to the young people and the children for keeping up its recollection. Among them it is the custom to send credulous people on errands for imaginary articles, and then to laugh at them for their pains. Pigeon's milk has long been a favorite commodity in the imagination of youngsters at this season, and it would be impossible to say how many gillnna of that dainty hut supposititious article have been In demand. In Scotland the custom is kept up with much more pertinacity than it is with us. Perhaps it is because even our children are so impressed with practical realities that they have no inclinations for these vagaries of fnncy. Meellntfor Colored CltlzenR The colored citizens met in Protection Hall, last week, for the purpose of electing a delegate to the Convention of Colored Men to be held in Hie cily of Nashville, Tennessee, Wednesday, April 5. The meeting was called to order by J. S. Tyler, and its object atated. On mo tion, J. T. Ward was called to the Chair, and J. 8. Tyler chosen Secretary. A committee of five, consisting of Messrs. F. B. Roney, Jr., J. F. Mergerson, Willis Mitchell, Will H. Roney and Charles Higginbothum, were appointed to prepare business, and reponeu the billowing na the opinion of those assembled : Whereas, We believe that the Colored National Convention, called at Nashville, Tennessee, on April 6, is unwise and is calculated to not only injure the Re publican party, but defeat Ohio'B favorite son, R. B. Hayes, for the Presidency, therefore, Resolved, That in view of the foregoing facta, we will make no nomination for delegate to the convention. Resolved, That in our opinion R. B. Hayes ia the strongest man now prominent as a candidate for the Republican nomination for President, and we feel that we risk nothing in taking the position that in the event of his nomination he will receive the votes of the fifteen thousand colored voters of Ohio. Strong in the Republican faith, the colored citizens of Ohio will cheerfully and vigorously support the Republican nominee, always prefering, however, such men as Morton and Blaine, just in proportion as their fight for freedom and the Union, haa been harder and mora neraiatsnt th.n that of othera. The meeting then adjourned. ElKbth Ward. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : It seems that tbe Democratic party in the Eighth ward, is using all the efforts that were used in our struggle for nationality during the time when the brave men of the Union were called "Lincoln's hirelings" in their endeavors to defeat one of the men who in the day of battle was found baring bis breast to rebel bullets in the naval service of the Union, and who refused to consent to surrender in the Mississippi river when his vessel was grounded on a sand bar his remark was, "boys, aB long aa we are eure of not sinking, let ua maintain the honor of the flag, and if necessary, go down with it." The man was Thos. R. Marshall and the vesael, waB not surrendered. If elected he will etill Btand by the flag. Let us all atand by him. 8oldieb. Incorporations.

April 1.-SmaU Bills introduced: Directing the Superintendent of Insurance to revoke the certificates of life insurance companies which assess taxes upon the policyholders; to provide for a special term of the District Conrtin M ercer county; to autbor-,7ft inaiicpn to isBiiR rarnishees whether the claims are due or not House bill direct ing Auditors to assess upon all linos not upon the duplicate taxes back to the last appraisement, or lest conveyance, was passed. The Governor nominated for Trustees for the Columbus Hospital for the Insane, A. D. Kouers, u. w. Manypenny, ueorge Mitchell, James Buckingham and Joseph R. Se or. Home Bills oased : House bill to coany the ditch laws, so far as they relate to county commissioners; House bill to punish persons (or disturbing religious meetings; House bill authorizing and directing the Audiior of Franklin county to pay witness fees in civil and criminal cases which hate accrued under a refusal of said officer to certity tees in criminal cases; Houb bill making the abduction of girls from the Industrial Home a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary. A numberot local bills were pssed Bills introduced ; Toprohibit gambling and liquor selling within two miles of Chippewa Lake, Medina county; to authorize cesBion of the Western Reserve and Miami road to the counties through which it passes. Westerly winds, ttationary or riting bar ometer, and parity cloudy and clearing weather and slight changes in temperature. Vote and work for the best men to-day, Such men as Blount, Koyce and Hin- man ought to pull through by handsome majorities to-day. It will be eafe to vote uniformily on the opposite side to that which bummer- dom is in favor of to-day. The voters of the Second ward will send in their cards to-day, with General Mitchell's name on them. The Ninth and Tenth are the only wards in which there iB any contest for membership in the Board of Education. Dr. J. R. Flowers, after several yearB service in Council from the Third ward, has been placed in a position to "walk over the course" again to-day. Mb. R. C. Hell's service in the City Council has been endorsed by a renomi nation. If he doeBn't take the "hull" vote of the First Ward, he will at least make things lively. No citizen who feels the slightest interest in having the city honestly and eco nomically governed should fail to go to the polls to-day. Of course the oppo- aite class will do what it can to put weak and corruptible men into the Council. Let all good citizenB do their part to keep them out. Mr. Appleton J. Ide, the Republican n f ,1... Qnnan,l. nominee lor counciimau m mio... ward, ia an active, energetic young man whose triumphant election would be a credit to his constituency, as well aa to himself. If cleoted, as we have no doubt he will be, he will infuse some young blood into the arteries of the municipal legislature that will tend to give it good health. The voters of the Seventh ward should Bee that the transfusion is accom plished. Mr. Robert H. Thompsom will "shy his castor" into the Fourth ward ring to-day, backed by the Republican nomination for Council. livery Doay knows "Rocky." and he knowa every body who has lived in Columbus since the time it waa a goose pasture. Ha can give the late Governor points in the "oldest inhab- itant" line. He was not put on the track "for fun," but with an abiding intention of electing him, and he will make a "rocky" road for any candidate opposing him. If elected he will materially improve the ssljfrreof thy Fourth wardrepresentation. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL WASHINGTON. THE EEAL ESTATE FOOL. Washington, April 2. The statement that the committee on Real Estate Pool examined no witnessea on Saturday, be' cauBe all deBired to be excused, was an error. .Hon. Charles A. JMundge ap. plied on friday to be examined on Satur day, but was told he would not be needed, feldridge informed the committee that he knew all about the pool, being one of its members. Mr. Hillyer, one ot the hrm of Sunderland, Hillyer at Stewart, whose purchase of property is specially alluded to in the subpena duces tecum served on Kilbourn, alao requested to be heard. In his note to the committee Mr. Hillyer says : "I will Btate to you generally that this property, consisting of unimproved lots in the northwestern part of the city, and of which the pur chase price waa about $650,000, belongs exclusively to Mr. Sunderland and myself, and no one else has ever directly or indirectly bad an interest in it or con- nection with ue, except the small interest once held by ex-Senator Stewart, aa ex plained by him to the investigating com niittee of the last Congress. Tbe title to this property was placed with Mr. Latta as trustee, eiraply lor tbe sake of con-venience. Neither of ua had any con nection with the pool in which Jay Cooke was interested, or with any other pool or parties whatever. COLONEL DYER'S TESTIMONY. The special committee on the so-called whisky frauds in Missouri, examined yesterday Colonel Dyer, United States Dis trict Attorney at St. LouiB. The exami nation lasted about three hours, and was exhaustive. It was, however, rather dis appointing to the committee, aB Mr. Dyer seemB to think ail theRuspictone he irank ly admits he at one time entertained of everybody at Washington, except secre tary Bristow and (solicitor Wilson, were groundless. The testimony taken by the grand jury, waB given to the defense by a uror named rox, one ot the two who afterward came here and gave testimony awav. getting in some way his son ap pointed to some office. Colonel Dyer left for St. Louis last evening. Mr. Knott in formed him that he would be needed again within a week or ten days. THE TARIFF. The Committee of Way and Means yesterday, Icoinpleted its action on the clauses of the Morrison tariff bill relat ing to iron and ateel, the only amendments to which are the following: The nsertiun after pig iron of the wordB Speigeleisen iron," but the committee as not yet fixed the duty; squares of iron and steel, three cents per pound; wood screws less than two inches and more than one inch in length, Bix cents; and one inch or less in length, eight cents a pound. The duty on wood screws two inches or over in length has been changed from five to four cents a pound. JNo amendments have been made in lead. On Tuesday the committee will consider tbe copper provision. AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY. Judge Bradly. of the Supreme Court, presided at the annual meeting of the American tract oociery this evening.

That in behall ot those we represent we tender our gratitude to Senator Morton for the interest he has manifested in the protection of Southern Republicans in their personal freedom, and in the sacred right of free speech and a free ballot, and that he is entitled to our gratitude for his devotion to these principles. THE PRESIDENT'S ILLNESS. President Grant, although not confined to bed, keepa his room, receiving no vis-itora. Some of hia friends say his sickness is owing to a return of periodical neuralgia. Rev. Dr. Newman to day prayed lor his recovery.

It is rumored that Mr. Caves's report shows the financial situation of Eiypt is not as desperate aa the books of the Khedive demonstrated. The receipts of the country are more than sufficient to pay interest on the debt, and the sinking fund for the floating debt amounts to about fourteen million pounds. Provision can be made by raiBing taxes and increasing the income from the porta of Alexandria and Ismailia. The report censures ex- fienditure on unproductive railroadB and urge industrial establishments.

Pertinent Points from the Eastern Papers of Yesterday. Connecticut KlectionN Knlhuainetle MeetlunrFroHpeels For To-Day. Special to the New York Times Hartford, April 1. There was a very large and enthusiastic Republican meeting here to-night, addresped by General Joseph R. Hawley, Gen. Francis A. Walker, and Hon. Henry C. Robinson. The first made a splendid speech, devoted chiefly to the financial question, taking the highest possible ground iu favor of resumption as the only salvation of the national honor nnd credit. General Walker spoke to the same enect, and, aB illustrating the value of the Resumption act as a sign of promise, said: "Fellow- citizens, 1 have Been a hunarea men lay down their lives around a ragged piece of bunting which, new and whole on the store counter in New York, was not worth $5, but which, planted on Antietam Creek or at the foot of Maury's HeighU, flaunting defiance to rebellion, was worth thousands of prcciouB human livee." The audience was electrified by this burst, aa I never Baw an audience before.The prospect for Monday is that in case can the Republican State ticket be elected, but that possibly the election may go to the Legislature. The chances are, however, that Ingersoll will be elected by the people, but by a majority greatly reduced from last year. The Legislature will be very close, with the chances in favor of the Democrats. There is much severe comment on the policy of the State committee to night, as it ia now the general opinion that with an active speaking canvass the State could have been easily carried by the Republicans. The reason for the adoption of the policy has not yet transpired, but anxious inquiries are Be ing made in the matter. An Outgpoken Convert at the Bloo dy and Saukey Revival. New York Herald.) There waa no meeting at the Hippo drome, yesterday, but a prayer meeting was held, accoruing to announcement, ai Association nail, corner ol 1 wentytuira street nnd Fourth avenue. There were about 500 present, many of them young converts. Dr. Kennard presided, and Mr. Pecham, Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, led the singing. The meeting opened with the singing of the hymn, "Ring the Bells of Heaven," and then Rev. Dr. Kennard addressed the audience on the subject of "Grace." He said that by the grace of God we are paved and by nothing else. No man is saved by his own effort. The spirit of God must come down on him, and imbue him; and the way to have that spirit is by prayer. We hope that the Spirit will remain with Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey, and thattenBOf thousands of the people of New York will be converted. Rev. Dr. Kenard called on any one in the meeting to Btand up and pray, and several persons stood up and told how they had been saved by listening to the preaching of Mr. Moody. One man from Newburg said that 600 members had joined one church in that city recently, and the other cnurcnes were receiving numerous applications for membership also. Among those who joined the church there wns one particular case he remembered. It was of quite a young man who had been led to Christ. His father kept a Baloon and he took care of it. But he gave up the saloon and everything else to enlist himselt in tbe army ol the .Lord. Another of those who rose to pray was Jerry McAuley, oi tbe Water BtreetMisBion Brother Jerry thought that the ministers up town were not clean of heart, for if they were they could do more work with their congregations. Men will not be con verted except by those who are clean of heart and clean of mouth. Let those min isters up town throw the tobacco out of their mouths and go to work like the dia-ciples of JesUB, and they will have suc cess. Why," said Brother Jerry, we have twentyfiveof A. T. Stewart's crowd oonverted in our mission already, and next week we are going for the old man." Several other prayers and experiences were recited, and the meeting closed with the aingingol the eighteenth hymn, "lies-cue the Perishing." Bell Aananlied by a Southerner. Special to New Tork World. Washington, April 1. Threats were heard on the streets and in the hotels yesterday againBt Bell, who testified against tsaococK, and today, when Liyer corrobo rated Bell'a Btory, the threats were re peated. This evening Bell was Bitting on a Bola in the Lbbitt House reading newspaper, when one Moleure, of JNew Orleans, who came here at the opening of Congress, stepped up to him and asked him if his name was Bell. The detective looked up and replied, "Yes, but he did not know him." The word waa scarcely uttered when Moleure i ifted a heavy cane and struck at his head. Bell raised his arm in time to ward off the blow, but the force bruised his wriBt. Two other blows were dealt acroBS the detective's face, drawing blood, when the bystanders interfered and put the man out of the building. Bell waa unarmed and in no condition to withstand the blows of a cluh. His assailant threatened to kill bim later in the evening, and several policemen stood around the doors of Willard's readr to arrest the assailant in case of another attack. Meanwhile Bell armed himself. He then swore out a warrant and had Moleure arrested and sent to jail.

About balfpaat nine o'clock Saturday evening, as John Bentz, the artist, was passing along Broad Btreet, and when at the alley by the old Buckeye House, aome person on the outaide of the sidewalk attracted hia attention, when s confederate, who was concealed by the side of the hoUBe bounded ont and seized Bentz by the throat. The highwayman oommenced pommeling Bentz, but tlia young man, by making divera and Bundry industrious efforts to free himself, broke loose from the robber and escaped. The villisns followed him a short distance, and then fled. He, of course, did not know either of the men, end gave no alarm. This is the Becond affair of the kind that haa occurred on that street within a week, and needs looking after. Herlone Accident. Sometime yesterday Patrick Melvin, who lives in the North End, went home and some bow or other fell over a chair.a leg of which had been broken off. In his fall his head cams in contact with the jagged end of the broken chair leg, a portion of which penetrated one of his eyes, putting it out and badly injuring the side of the bead. Dr. Reed rendered what medical aid was necessary, and in tbe afternoon Melvin was able to be out on the Btreet somewhat the worse for tbe fall. LOCAL POLITICS.

Beer wa a little freer thnn at other times, but with this exception there waa nothing particular to note. In the Fourth Ward, Rocky Thompson was sailing in pretty lively in the race with Peter Baker lor Council. The probabilities are that a lively contest will take place in the Seventh be tween Ide and Moerch. In the Eighth Ward, the contest is live ly and interesting. Marshall is work ing like a beaver, while Uraham is not idle by any means. A meeting was held at the Board of Trade Room Saturday, and Dr. Coulter put in nomination by those who were dissatisfied with the result of the primary. With three candidates in the field, a heated contest iB expected to-day. In the First ward Hull and Lilly are contesting the ground, but there is scarce ly anything more than ordinary interest taken. The Ninth ward is lively with the friends of Hinman and Walsh putting in their best licks. Much interest is manifested and the election in the Ninth will perhaps be one(of the most interesting contests in the city to-da. April Fool. Since all the fools are not dead, and the fool-killer neglects his calling, it is but proper that interested parties Bhouldhave one day in the year all to themselves. The day is said, to have originated among the Hindoos, who even up to the present time are said to observe a similar custom. This ia only one of the many specimens that might be adduced of a festival of modern times, tracing its rise far back among the dim recesseH of history. Such days as this which keep in remembrance an old holiday, the original and true significance of which is almost undiscoverable deserve to be cherished, perhaps, because they lend a sort of pic-turesquenesB to the year. The twelvemonth would be indescribably dull and leadened colored if all days were precisely alike, and none were distinguished by peculiar notions, BUperBtitions and ceremonies. But taking our holidays and the 1st of April deserves in some senae to be called one aa a whole they make a goodly array. The time, however, has indeed come when All Fool's Day has ceaseil to stand out with any degree of prnminenco. It has already begun to take its place among phantom holidays, and in a hundred years more will cease to have the slightest distinction whatever. As it is we are almoBt wholly indebted to the young people and the children for keeping up its recollection. Among them it is the custom to send credulous people on errands for imaginary articles, and then to laugh at them for their pains. Pigeon's milk has long been a favorite commodity in the imagination of youngsters at this season, and it would be impossible to say how many gillnna of that dainty hut supposititious article have been In demand. In Scotland the custom is kept up with much more pertinacity than it is with us. Perhaps it is because even our children are so impressed with practical realities that they have no inclinations for these vagaries of fnncy. Meellntfor Colored CltlzenR The colored citizens met in Protection Hall, last week, for the purpose of electing a delegate to the Convention of Colored Men to be held in Hie cily of Nashville, Tennessee, Wednesday, April 5. The meeting was called to order by J. S. Tyler, and its object atated. On mo tion, J. T. Ward was called to the Chair, and J. 8. Tyler chosen Secretary. A committee of five, consisting of Messrs. F. B. Roney, Jr., J. F. Mergerson, Willis Mitchell, Will H. Roney and Charles Higginbothum, were appointed to prepare business, and reponeu the billowing na the opinion of those assembled : Whereas, We believe that the Colored National Convention, called at Nashville, Tennessee, on April 6, is unwise and is calculated to not only injure the Re publican party, but defeat Ohio'B favorite son, R. B. Hayes, for the Presidency, therefore, Resolved, That in view of the foregoing facta, we will make no nomination for delegate to the convention. Resolved, That in our opinion R. B. Hayes ia the strongest man now prominent as a candidate for the Republican nomination for President, and we feel that we risk nothing in taking the position that in the event of his nomination he will receive the votes of the fifteen thousand colored voters of Ohio. Strong in the Republican faith, the colored citizens of Ohio will cheerfully and vigorously support the Republican nominee, always prefering, however, such men as Morton and Blaine, just in proportion as their fight for freedom and the Union, haa been harder and mora neraiatsnt th.n that of othera. The meeting then adjourned. ElKbth Ward. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : It seems that tbe Democratic party in the Eighth ward, is using all the efforts that were used in our struggle for nationality during the time when the brave men of the Union were called "Lincoln's hirelings" in their endeavors to defeat one of the men who in the day of battle was found baring bis breast to rebel bullets in the naval service of the Union, and who refused to consent to surrender in the Mississippi river when his vessel was grounded on a sand bar his remark was, "boys, aB long aa we are eure of not sinking, let ua maintain the honor of the flag, and if necessary, go down with it." The man was Thos. R. Marshall and the vesael, waB not surrendered. If elected he will etill Btand by the flag. Let us all atand by him. 8oldieb. Incorporations.
